CHILLING WITH GUYS LIKE JASON REMINDS ME OF WHY I CAME TO MELBOURNE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS CITY IS SO FULL OF YOUNG, CREATIVE MINDS, AND IT’S A PRIVILEGE TO BE RIGHT AT THE CENTRE OF IT. HOPEFULLY WE’LL BE PUTTING TOGETHER SOMETHING COOL IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SO WATCH THIS SPACE MY FRIENDS.

IT’S A FAIRLY STRONG CALL TO MAKE, BUT I’D BE WILLING TO PUT MONEY ON FELIX POSSIBLY BEING THE COOLEST GUY IN MELBOURNE TODAY. AFTER WHAT SEEMED WAS DESTINED TO BE A BARREN SESSION, I FOUND HIM CHILLING ON A BENCH OUTSIDE OF THE BLACK CAT ON BRUNSWICK STREET. THE FACT THAT HE WAS CARRYING A BOUQUET WAS THE ICING ON THE CAKE.

CAUGHT A TRAM TO NORTH MELBOURNE TO CATCH UP WITH MY BUD NICKA, WHOSE JUST LAUNCHED HER VERY OWN COLLECTION OF HAND-CRAFTED, FRUIT-INSPIRED JEWELLERY ONLINE. ERYKAH BADU HAS ALREADY GOT HER PAIR OF WATERMELON EARRINGS, SO SHE CAN’T BE DOING TOO BADLY.

PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK MORE PENSIVE IN RAINY WEATHER. I LIKE IT.

I’VE BEEN CHASING FELLOW PHOTOGRAPHER FRIEND GINA FOR HER PORTRAIT FOR AGES, AND WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET IT ON A DAY WHERE SHE CONSCIOUSLY MADE THE DECISION IN THE MORNING TO WEAR A LOT OF PINK.

AFTER HEADING DOWN TO CHURCH STREET IN RICHMOND AT AN UNGODLY HOUR THIS MORNING, I CAME ACROSS CORPORATE WORKER JACK, TRULY STICKING IT TO THE MAN WITH HIS MASTERPIECE OF A JUMPER.

I FOUND THIS HANDSOME MAN CHILLING OUTSIDE RUE BEBELONS SIPPING ON HIS COFFEE. I LOVE HOW HIS LOOK MATCHES HIS BIBLICAL NAME, AND COULD TOTALLY IMAGINE HIM HANGING OUT WITH THE DISCIPLES, LOOKING ALL COOL WHILE CASUALLY AGREEING WITH EVERYTHING JESUS SAYS. ANYWAYS, I’M GETTING SIDETRACKED. APPARENTLY HE’S PART OF A SYDNEY BASED BAND CALLED SET SAIL.

RUE BEBELONS ARE NOW DOING ‘FORMAL FRIDAYS’, WHERE ALL THE STAFF DRESS UP ALL DAPPER LIKE. I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER FELT SO SOPHISTICATED ORDERING A $6 SOUP IN MY LIFE. GO CHECK IT OUT.

IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE MARIA IS TAKING A MASSIVE DOUBLE-HANDED HOON OF HER CIGARETTE. THE SECOND IMAGE SHOULD REVEAL THE TRUTH BEHIND THIS FREAKY OPTICAL ILLUSION.

WINTER IS GETTING CLOSER, AND MY BIKE HANDLEBARS NEEDED GRIP TAPING. SEEING AS I HAVE THE D.I.Y. CAPABILITIES OF A GOOSE, I DECIDED IT WOULD BE WISE TO GET SOMEONE TO DO THE TASK ON MY BEHALF. I TOOK IT DOWN TO PONY BIKES ON CAPEL STREET IN WEST MELBOURNE, WHERE SASHA HOOKED ME UP.

I TOOK THIS SHOT ON DEGRAVES STREET A LITTLE UNDER A YEAR AGO, JUST AS I WAS BEGINNING TO TOY WITH THE IDEA OF STARTING THIS PROJECT. AT THE TIME I HAD ALMOST NO STRUCTURE TO MY ROUTINE, AND PHOTO SESSIONS WERE MORE ABOUT GAUGING THE RESPONSE OF POTENTIAL SUBJECTS THAN ANYTHING ELSE. NO INFORMATION WAS SWAPPED, AND I WAS JUST GRATEFUL THAT PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY WILLING TO LET A COMPLETE STRANGER...

EVEN THOUGH HIS HAIR WAS TIED BACK, YOUSSEF IMMEDIATELY REMINDED ME OF CEDRIC FROM THE MARS VOLTA. OBVIOUSLY THAT MEANT THAT I HAD TO TAKE HIS PHOTO. THE WHOLE PROCESS WAS OVER SO FAST. I HOPE HE DIDN’T FEEL USED.

MY HUNT FOR THE TASTIEST COFFEE IN TOWN TOOK ME DOWN TO CHEZ DRÉ, A PATISSERIE/BOULANGERIE ON COVENTRY STREET IN SOUTH MELBOURNE. MASTERMINDED BY DRÉ, WHOSE BACKGROUND (HALF PHILIPPINE, HALF ROMANIAN) IS JUST AS INTERESTING AS THE SPACE THEY OCCUPY, IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THIS INSTITUTION HAS ONLY BEEN OPEN FOR A YEAR. I’M NO WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, SO INSTEAD OF TRYING TO VERBALLY DISSECT...

I PRACTICALLY POOPED MYSELF WHEN I SAW MICK’S TATTOOS SO I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY FAIR THAT I SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE TO THE CLOSEST POSSIBLE DEGREE BY TAKING HIS PORTRAIT AND DISSEMINATING IT VIA THE INTER WEB.

SHUI WAS DOING SOME SERIOUS MULTI-TASKING OUTSIDE MELBOURNE CENTRAL, ALTERNATING EFFORTLESSLY BETWEEN CIGARETTE AND IPHONE DUTIES. I ASKED HIM IF I COULD CAPTURE THE MOMENT, AND HE DULY OBLIGED.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SIT MYSELF DOWN IN FRONT OF THE STATE LIBRARY, UNTIL SEALA AND HER FUN HAIR FORCED ME TO TAKE A SLIGHT DETOUR.
